MRI-Compatible Absolute Rotary Encoder with 13-Bit Res
Micronor introduces the MRI-compatible fiber optic absolute rotary encoder system. The all-optical, non-metallic MR338 passive sensor provides precision absolute angular measurement from 0° to 360° with 13-bit (8192 count) resolution and 12-bit multi-turn tracking . A duplex multimode fiber optic link connects the passive MR338 Sensor to the active MR330 Controller Module installed outside the […]
L&L DRIVE-CLiQ Encoders for Heavy Duty Environments
Leine & Linde launches DRIVE-CLiQ on an encoder platform that is designed for long life operation in harsh drive environments where they are exposed to powerful vibrations, shocks and mechanical loads. This means the new DRIVE-CLiQ encoder can easily be installed to the motor mechanics typically found in heavy duty applications like paper mills, steel […]
WAGO SPEEDWAY IP67 Incremental Encoder
WAGO Corporation adds an HTL Incremental Encoder/Counter Module to its SPEEDWAY IP67 I/O-SYSTEM. The machine-mountable 767-5202 evaluates incremental encoders and SSI absolute encoders at 24 V signal levels in harsh environments. It also provides a counting function for binary signals up to 250 kHZ. This makes it ideal for counting motor revolutions in applications such […]
